In the previous year, Vivo has initiated 5G antenna and frequency related advancement to further accelerate Vivo’s pace of 5G innovation. Vivo’s partnership with China Mobile on 5G began in 2016 with a joint solution that decreases power consumption of 5G gadgets. Vivo was likewise a key contributor to the China Mobile led GTI 5G Device Whitepaper and China Mobile 5G Technical Requirements for Large-Scale Field Trial.

To enable the interesting & unique consumer experience shifts that 5G will bring, Vivo has additionally been working intimately with Qualcomm on a 5G demonstration to showcase the energy of 5G connected across a range of end-to-end usage scenarios.
